You could install a more modern, efficient fireplace: woodheat.org "Not incidentally, a fireplace's consumption of room air directly affects its efficiency, that is, how much of the energy contained in the logs is transferred as cozy warmth to the room. Because they suck up so much room air, open fireplaces deliver between zero and 20 per cent net efficiency. The low efficiency results from the house furnace working so hard to heat up the outside air that must come in to replace air exhausted by the fireplace. The colder the weather, the lower the delivered efficiency from an open fireplace."
